It seems that their beta programme has been/.'ed. Their MS SQL (????) table is full:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Can't allocate space for object 'LongAnswers' in database 'betarep' because the 'default' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.

It would be appropriate to elaborate on these statements, but I'm busy handling yet another case of ZOPE's strong FeelGoodFactor, so I'm afraid I can't.
This severe condition is likely to strike 97,6% of all ZOPE users and application developers more than once.
Compared to Zope, PHP is merely a very nice scripting language you can embed in your pages, so to speak. I really dig PHP for it's own uses, though.
Zope, on the other hand, is very impressive! Object Oriented, tight, finegrained security model, very dynamic, runs on several platforms, Python, connects nicely to databases.... OpenSource!!!
Zope has an extremely high Feel Good Factor(tm) (a Jamiroquai term); in fact, it's very addictive!
Once in a while you come by a ware and this strange, warm feeling fills you up... these people have created a product with a lot of brains in it and behind it... everything is good!
Zope is of this kind.
Btw. you can get nice commercial support from the creators at http://www.digicool.com/
Choosing Motif would be like shooting your self in both feet with a very fine, new gun.
I don't know if QT is "ready" for it, but that would be a clear possibility. At least version 2.0.
As long as it is not Motif. Motif is to say the least ugly and is non-free.
I really dig the idea of having DelphLin 5.0, because the "Delphi" way of working makes me feel happy and light of mind. ... and Windows definitely doesn't!
First: How do one "install"/run this beast? Which script to run? I can't find any guidelines on the site and the tarball is kind of sparse on readme's.
Second: The plan of milestones are ambitious. That is nice!
What is he up to this time? He surely doesn't say stuff like this without having a motive.
I know and like Apache but it can be better in some areas. On Linux Zeus is usually faster serving flat pages and IIS is overall a bit faster than Apache on NT.
Now, Exchange is not just mail (easy! I'm pro Linux/Qmail;-)
One of the most important features is the integration between mail, _calendar_, public folders and so on.
In my company, the mail and the calendar are the two most used features of Exchange. Booking meetings and conference rooms through Exchange is really nice. Technically, Exchange SUCKS more than totally!
How would one do mail/calendar/booking integrated on a GPL system?
Think about general tendencies in hardware design and development.
Does it head towards more and more proprietary hardware as in the old "every-company-it's-own-mainframe-and-unix-system- architecture"-days?
I don't think so.
If We, the OpenSource society, makes our software better and succeed in making changes to the world, we will see the vendors turn to us eventually.
As said before: it's all about market shares. We live and prosper without marketshares.
Can the same be said about commercial mainstream hardware vendors?
The answer is no.
So stop being offended of what Bill Gates say.
If I'm wrong, we'll still have the best software, but without the mainstream coverage. If I'm right, the guys that don't learn the lesson will not just be sorry for themselves and their companies; they'll be without a job.
Then I'd start an OSS project to accomplish a VM. Because... I've tried out the vmware VM and it already rocks. "Never ask a geek why...";-)
Speaking of which... anyone ever wondered about setting up a general "request" site for OSS projects? A site where you could put up ideas or like for projects to be picked by bored coders.
A site where professors, teachers and students could go and pick a project or some teammembers for a not yet started project.

Simply because communism usually means central control.
Linux and OSS are not centrally controlled. Most projects has an administering body or person, but that's all.

Simply:
Go with Zope.
ZOPE is _the_ system today.
Find it at http://www.zope.org/

Would you please list, say, the five most important reasons why Linux sucks?
I'm sincerely interested to hear what a Linux sceptic that dares post a comment like yours, has to say.
Hope it's worth while, though.

Qmail!
;-)
This is GOOD SOFTWARE tm!
Reg. the arcane features of Sendmail; Qmail can be tweaked quite a bit, too.
Only drawback _could_ be that Sendmail is so widely used that there are a lot of utils for it (Qmail has quite a few btw.)
Qmail never looses a mail that are well into the system. Say the same about Sendmail....

I'd like to like KDE; it's nice and usually recommend it to newbees.
But somehow I have this bad taste in my mouth and strange, uncomfortable feeling in the back of my head thinking fo the license issues with Qt.
Can someone please explain to me how I can make this go away?

Well, that's the nice thing about this OSS thing... You're free to make your own choice!
I install KDE on most of my newbie friends computers, but I still use E/Gnome at my own station.
I simply like it better, even though it's not up to standards regarding stability yet.
Perhaps someone is right saying they (the E dev. team) could do more releases to keep pacing development.
What they all say:
Release early and release often!

Steen Suder

I use Ctrl-Alt-[left]|[right] or Alt-F#
